Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Fakes Concussion to Avoid Congressional Testimony – And Now She Fakes a Blood Clot

No, No Faking Involved – This is Just What Conservatives
Will Say

Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton was scheduled to testify before Congress on the horrible
tragedy in Libya,
a tragedy Republicans want to use for political gain. But she fell and suffered a concussion. Of course, for Republicans accusing Ms.
Clinton of faking it is just par for the course, something those without any
sense of decency do.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was
admitted to a New York
hospital Sunday after the discovery of a blood clot stemming from the
concussion she sustained earlier this month.

Mrs. Clinton's doctors
discovered the clot Sunday while performing a follow-up exam, her spokesman,
Philippe Reines, said. He would not elaborate on the location of the clot but
said Mrs. Clinton is being treated with anticoagulants and would remain at New
York-Presbyterian Hospital for at least the next 48 hours so doctors can
monitor the medication.

And here is how Republicans had reacted to her earlier
injury.

Mrs.
Clinton was also forced to cancel Dec. 20 testimony before Congress about a
scathing report on the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in
Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other
Americans. The report found that serious failures of leadership and management
in two State Department bureaus were to blame for insufficient security at the
facility. Mrs. Clinton took responsibility for the incident before the report
was released, but she wasn't blamed.

Some
conservative commentators suggested Mrs. Clinton was faking the seriousness of
her illness and concussion to avoid testifying, although State Department
officials vehemently denied that was the case.

As for Ms. Clinton, hopefully she will be just fine, so that
some time after the ugly Conservatives have left the scene she will be
acknowledged for her outstanding service.

The
former first lady and senator, who had always planned to step down as America's
top diplomat in January, is known for her grueling travel schedule. She is the
most traveled secretary of state in history, having visited 112 countries while
in the job.

Yep, 112 countries and as near as anyone can tell she didn’t
insult a single one. Unlike Mitt Romney
whose foreign trips resulted in insulting every one.
